Synthesis of functionalised enantiopure steroids from estrone and cholestanone through organolithium intermediates
摘要:
The reaction of epoxides I and 8 derived from estrone and cholestanone, respectively. with an excess of lithium and a catalytic amount of DTBB (7 mol%) in THF at -78 degreesC led to formation of the correlsponding beta -oxido-functionalised organolithium intermediates 2 and 9, respectively, in a regio- and stereoselective manner. Treatment of these intermediates with different electrophiles [H2O, D2O, PhCHO, Me2CO, Et2CO, (CH2)(5)CO, CO2] at -78 to 20 degreesC afforded, after hydrolysis with water. enantiomerically purr derivatives 3 and 10. respectively. When protected ketones 5 and 6 derived from D-glucose and D-fructose were used as the electrophile. the reaction with 2 gave the expected mixed products 3g and 3h, respectively. which consist of a steroid and a carbohydrate fragment. The fraction of O-protected estrone 4 as the electrophilic component and intermediate 2 afforded the C-2-symmetric steroid dimer 3f. The stereochemistry of the products was unambiguously determined by correlation with X-ray data for compound 3d and by comparison with the known compound 6a. Finally. thr addition of the dianions 13, resulting from the DTBB-catalysed lithiation of phthalan 12a and isochroman 12b, to the O-protected estrone 4 and to cholestanone 9 led to the Formation of the diols 14, 15 and 16.
